If I'm not mistaken (although I might be and I haven't got the time to go back and check) and odb file is effectively a zip file with various things in it.
As Tom said, LO (& Ooo, of course) really doesn't have a database section. It has a gateway to a database, in fact different adapters for various databases. This is really very sensible in most ways. It just talks to a database engine that is specifically built to do the data work and just gives back results. I believe HSQL is a "cut down" database, on the basis that a lot of the bells and whistles of a full database engine aren't required by small applications. Hence it's a small, fast database, without it's own data storage, I imagine, since the data for it *is* kept in the odb file. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong in the technical details here.
